The
Rogue Jammer pull up bar is the ideal solution for everyday use. Even if you are not a DIY it is easy to install and enables you to do pull-ups at a moment's notice. While this is not the right tool for kipping pull-ups or muscle-ups due to a lack of clearance to the doorframe, it still gives you everything you need to get an extra 20 - 100 pull-ups in a day. Over a year, this will show results. The specifics of the
jammer pull-up bar are:
- Patent Pending
- In-Home Wall-Mounted Pull-Up System
- Total Weight: 33LB (Includes Stringer & Brackets)
- Length: 43" (Stringer)
- Height: 8.875" (Stringer)
- Depth from mounting surface - 7" to center of bar, 8.25" overall
- Pull-Up Bar Diameter: 1.125"
- (6) 0.375" x 2.5" wood lags included
This is a great present or start to your own home gym as it fits anywhere and can be installed by almost anyone.
Pros of the Jammer pull up bar
- Easy to install
- Better than the average pull up in the market
- Low price and everything included
Rogue delivers a solid pull up bar at $95 which gets your home gym started. While it won't satisfy the extreme needs of the Crossfit Community, it will make you strong and build a good back.
Cons of the Rogue jammer pull up bar
- Little clearance to the wall
- Little clearance to the ceiling
- Less sturdy mount to the wall
This is a setup mainly for straight pull-ups. If you want to go all-out nuts and hang 500 lb from this while kipping like a madman, it is likely you will face plant. This is a better tool than most home equipment pull up bars out there, especially the ones that you temporarily install in the doorway. It is not an industrial-grade workout tool,as the six bolts you get will not go very deep into the wall.
Alternatives to the jammer pull up bar
The
P-4 pull up bar would be the better option if you want to go all out with kipping. This system has enough clearance to the wall and you can go to the home depot and pick an anchor that would hold a truck.
Conclusion for the Rogue Jammer Pull up bar
Nothing to do wrong to install above the kitchen door to make people do 5 pull-ups each time they walk through.

- Solid Round Steel construction, precision formed
- Diameter: 28.5MM
- Black E-Coat Finish
- Ohio Knurling extended to close grip portion of bar

This is a good choice if you mainly do straight pull-ups and do not intend to do muscle-ups or kipping pull-ups. It has to be combined with a
rack purchase to function in your home gym.
Pros of the Rogue Curl pull up bar
- Easier on the wrists
- Grippy knurling
- Space efficient
Compared to straight pull up bars the
curl bar is a lot easier on the wrists. If you think that kipping pull-ups are for sissies and like to vary your grip a lot for straight pull-ups this is the bar to get. The knurling is tough on your hands and provides a good grip. As you are mounting this pull-up bar on a
rack it also saves space. Just make sure that you get the right
sockets fro your
rack if you purchase this pull up bar after acquiring your
rack from Rogue.
Cons of the Rogue curl pull up bar
- Bad setup for kipping
- Bad setup for muscle-ups
- No color options
The
Rogue curl pull up bar is great if you do your pull-ups hardstyle and stick to the philosophies of Pavel Tsatsoulin. If you are a Crossfit fan, this bar is pretty much useless. Kipping and muscle-ups are not great when your pull up bar comes in waves. In addition, Rogue also currently does not offer any color customizations on the
curl bar, where they do for the
socket pull up bar.
Alternatives to the Rogue Curl pull up bar
The
Rogue socket bar can also come with a
rack purchase. Depending on your preferences you can choose to equip the
rack with a
curl or
socket bar. Just take care at checkout. The plain version is even cheaper than the
curl bar and you can flick through the color options if you want to add a bit of pop.
For the
Rogue Crown pull up system you need to make sure that you buy an additional crossmember on your
rack purchase. Instead of choosing one of the pull-up bars, choose the 43" crossmember or the equivalent to that for the
rack you buy. The
Crown pull-up bar is then installed to the crossmember with nuts and bolts. Make sure you pick the right one to pair with your
rack is there is an option that goes with the
Infinity and
Monster Lite racks, while another goes with the
Monster series. The
crown pull-up bar is probably the best value for money pull up system Rogue offers when you want to train multiple pull-up and hanging grips. The
crown bar can not be used as stand-alone and needs to be mounted to a
rack crossmember.
Conclusion for the Rogue Curl pull up bar
I personally got this pull up bar with my RM4 purchase. As this was during Corona times I was mainly looking for delivery times, rather than the optimal solution for me. Preferably I would have gotten a socket or crown bar, but these were out of stock. If you are into straight pull-ups and you have the money to spend, go for the crown pull up bar. Otherwise, get the socket and add a splash of color to be able to do kipping pull-ups and muscle-ups.
